Chapter 0374 things make trouble
"What are you talking nonsense? Why is Qingyu here with me? She is like her? It's time to come here during the day. Which girl's house will run around at night, go quickly! Go quickly!"
Li Quan stood on the steps with his hips on his hips, not allowing Li Zhen to enter the door, and kept urging him to leave. Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. The abnormal behavior of his eldest sister showed that Wang Qingyu was in her mansion.
Li Zhen felt relieved and smiled, "If the eldest sister saw Qingyu and took good care of her for me, I would leave first."
Li Zhen turned over and rushed away with his subordinates. Li Quan curled his lips, "What does it mean to take good care of her for me? A little brat, I haven't even said a single word yet!"
Li Quan closed the door and walked into the inner hall quickly. He saw Wang Qingyu sitting at the small table, constantly wiping tears with his handkerchief, his eyes crying red and swollen like a little peach.
"Big sister, who is it?" Wang Qingyu asked uneasy when she saw Li Quan come back.
"I am a shopkeeper, so I will double my drinking capacity tomorrow."
Li Quan didn't want to say that it was the brother who came over, so she covered it up casually. She asked nervously again: "Your brother really wants to marry you to that. What king of longevity?"
A trace of anger flashed in Wang Qingyu's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not about marrying, it's for him to be his concubine."
"Hey! Your elder brother is really good. If someone doesn't marry, he insists on sending him to the palace. Those palaces are so dark! He can't come out when he goes in. How can he be so free as if he marrys my brother?"
Wang Qingyu's face suddenly turned red, and she whispered in a weak voice: "Big sister--"
Li Quan smiled, then held Wang Qingyu's hand, not allowing her to run away, and asked her in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, would you like to marry my brother?"
Wang Qingyu was so embarrassed that her neck turned red. Her hand was held by Li Quan and she couldn't escape. She lowered her head deeply and nodded slightly after a while. Li Quan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Don't worry! I will arrange everything. I have long thought you should be my sister-in-law, just waiting for this day!"
Wang Qingyu bit her lip, "But my brother will come to the door to make things difficult for the eldest sister."
"He dares!"
Li Quan said angrily: "Tomorrow I will ask Xiaopang to help me and bring some soldiers to my house. I will see that he dares to come to the door to grab people."
Having said that, Li Quan was still a little worried. She was very smart and immediately thought of a place that Wang Yuanbao could not find.
Before dawn the next day, a carriage left Li Quan's mansion and drove out of the city. Li Quan hid Wang Qingyu in a farmhouse outside the city, which was the home of one of her subordinates. Of course, Li Quan also knew that Wang Yuanbao did not dare to force rob people in his own mansion or his brother's house, but this was a bit unreasonable, after all, they were brothers and sisters.
At noon the next day, a servant ran back to the palace. Wang Yuanbao was walking back and forth in the lobby with his hands in his arms, feeling irritable and restless. The servant ran over panting and said, "Master, we know where the second girl is."
Wang Yuanbao hurriedly grabbed Ding Yilian's collar and asked, "Where are the people?"
"It should be in Li Dongzhu's mansion."
"What does it mean?"
"Master, although we didn't see anyone, there were no soldiers guarding Li Dongzhu's mansion, but today there were a few more soldiers guarding the gate. We guess it must be in the mansion."
In fact, Wang Yuanbao suspected that his sister was hiding in Li Quan's mansion, and now he was even more certain. He gritted his teeth with hatred, "Li Zhen, you bully people too much, let's take a look!"
He ordered more than a dozen men, "Stay at Li Quan's gate, and if you find the target, you should immediately start snatching people."
Wang Yuanbao walked back to the study, spread out a piece of letter paper, picked up his pen and started writing a letter. He didn't believe that there was no one in this world who could not suppress Li Zhen.
Time gradually passed half a month, the white dew had passed, the weather was as cool as the day, the autumn wind was bleak, the leaves on the big tree turned yellow, and pieces fell with the wind.
The Wang family slowly calmed down, but Wang Qingyu still did not come back. The storm caused by Wang Qingyu's departure seemed to have subsided, at least it was no longer mentioned on the surface.
In fact, Wang Yuanbao has not been calm for a day. He is eagerly waiting for news from the capital, but he is afraid that Li Zhen will suddenly hold a banquet, which may mean that his sister was taken as his concubine. But it is impossible to think about it. After all, the Wang family is also a person with status. No matter how strong Li Zhen is, he cannot do such a thing that violates the etiquette.
Moreover, his subordinates were following the house near Li Quan's mansion for months, and finally he realized that his sister was not in Li Quan's mansion or Li Zhen's mansion, and I don't know where to hide?
This made Wang Yuanbao feel upset. The more time dragged back, the more unfavorable it was for him.
At noon, he was sitting in the inner hall for tea when suddenly the housekeeper rushed over and shouted: "Master! Master!"
"What happened? You're so panicked!" Wang Yuanbao asked dissatisfiedly.
"Master, Prince Shouchun is here, right outside the mansion."
"ah!"
Wang Yuanbao screamed in surprise, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and smashed it to pieces. He didn't care about the teacup, so he got up and ran out the door, hoping for the stars and the moon, and finally he looked forward to Li Chengqi.
A carriage was parked outside the gate of the royal palace, and more than a dozen followers followed. A young man stood beside the carriage with his hands on his back. Although he was wearing an ordinary robe, he could not hide his noble temperament. This noble man was Li Dan's eldest son, Li Chengqi, the prince of Shouchun.
Of course, Li Chengqi came for Wang Qingyu's incident. The day after he received Wang Yuanbao's letter, he set out. Frankly speaking, Li Chengqi had long taken a fancy to Wang Qingyu's beauty. If his father had not firmly opposed him marrying the daughter of a merchant as his concubine, he would have come to marry him, but his father's opposition could not stop Li Chengqi from obsessing with Wang Qingyu.
At this time, Wang Yuanbao quickly walked out of the mansion, bowed and bowed, "Wang Yuanbao meets Your Highness!"
Wang Yuanbao was extremely excited. He didn't expect Li Chengqi to come to Chang'an in person, but at the same time, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he felt that things seemed to be a bit big.
Li Chengqi nodded, "This is not a place to talk, let's talk about it when you go in!"
"Please, Your Highness!"
Wang Yuanbao invited Li Chengqi into the inner hall. Li Chengqi sat down and a concubine served them tea. Li Chengqi was really tired after running around. He took a sip of tea before he calmed down slowly.
"Master Wang Dongzhu, my father asked me to express my sincere gratitude to you. We will not forget the support of the Wang family for us."
A warm feeling surged in Wang Yuanbao's heart, and the prince did not forget him.
Li Chengqi comforted Wang Yuanbao first, and then turned the topic to the current day. He took out the letter Wang Yuanbao wrote to him from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Wang Yuanbao, "I'll give it back to you!"
"This is……"
Wang Yuanbao was a little panicked. He didn't understand what Li Chengqi meant, "Your Highness didn't think about it-"
Li Chengqi waved his hand and refused to let him continue talking. Of course, he was moved by Wang Qingyu's beauty, but compared to the Tang Dynasty, a woman was nothing.
"My father hopes you don't mention this matter again. He supports Li Zhen in marrying Wang Dongzhu's sister."
Wang Yuanbao seemed to be hit by a blow head-on, a little confused. Li Chengqi said again: "Li Zhen is very important to us. We hope to get his support. If he can marry the Wang family, it will be of great help to our great cause."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqi said to Wang Yuanbao apologetically: "I know you are not willing, but for our great cause, I still have to aggrieved you."
Wang Yuanbao was more than just aggrieved, he was about to cry. Is his dream of royal relatives going to be shattered?
"But your Highness, my sister hopes to follow you more!"
Li Chengqi smiled helplessly. If he turned against Li Zhen for a woman, then he would be too incompetent. Seeing that Wang Yuanbao was not enlightened, he became a little annoyed and said in a tight tone: "Master Wang, I hope you can understand that this is my father asking you!"
Wang Yuanbao suddenly woke up, and he immediately lowered his head like a wilted chicken. He knew that he had no choice anymore...
Li Quan only returned home from the store in the evening, and saw a carriage parked at the door. She felt a little strange and asked the doorman: "Lao Wang, who is here?"
The concierge came up with a smile, "Madam Qibing, it is Wang Dadongzhu's wife."
Li Quan was stunned, "Is it Wang Yuanbao's wife?"
"Yes! She has been waiting in the living room for a while."
Li Quan's mind changed rapidly. Could it be that Wang Yuanbao sent his wife to give him an ultimatum?
Li Quan walked into the gate quickly and walked towards the living room.
Walking up the living room steps, I saw a young woman wearing heavy makeup sitting in the hall, her black hair was covered with pearls and jade, and she was dressed very noble. Li Quan knew that Wang Yuanbao's wife's surname was Zhang, and she was the daughter of another rich man in Chang'an.
"I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." Li Quan walked into the living room with a smile on his face.
Zhang quickly stood up, a smile appeared on his snow-white face and said, "I came uninvited to disturb Master Li."
"You don't have to be polite, please sit down!"
Li Quan asked Zhang to sit down and asked the maid to change her tea. Zhang bowed and smiled, "I came today for a whisper."
"Wait a minute!"
Li Quan quickly interrupted her, "Madam, don't think Qingyu is hidden here!"
"No! I don't mean that. I'm not here to find Qingyu, I'm here to talk about Qingyu's marriage."
"oh--"
This result was indeed beyond Li Quan's expectations. Wang Yuanbao vowed to never marry the Li family. Now his wife is here to discuss the marriage again. What is the reason why Wang Yuanbao changed his mind?
However, it is always a good thing to be willing to talk about marriage. Li Quan put away his sarcasm and said sincerely: "My mind has not changed yet. If the Wang family was willing to marry Qingyu to my brother, our family would never be wronged."
Zhang smiled and nodded, "Reasonablely, I should have asked Mrs. Di to discuss this matter, but my master still hopes to talk to Master Li. In principle, we also agree with the wife's proposal, but there are two conditions."
"Please tell me, what are the two conditions?"
"As the saying goes, if a daughter has no father and brother, he is called Ben, and if a daughter has no father and brother, he is called Marry. Our Wang family is also a person with good looks in Chang'an. We hope that General Li can marry my family's whispers. Except for not being accused of the church, the other rituals should be the same."
This requirement is not an excessive requirement. The biggest difference between marrying a wife and marrying a concubine is that if you want to marry a concubine, it means disrespect for the wife. If you don’t agree to it, you will be criticized. The Wang family also knows this, so they have the highest ritual, that is, marrying a daughter with a grand ceremony, except for the church.
Li Quan nodded, "I can agree, please tell me the second condition."
"The second condition requires General Li to agree that my family's Qingyu is not a concubine, but a second wife. She has the right to receive an imperial edict. Even if General Li takes a concubine in the future, he will not be equal to Qingyu."
Li Quan smiled and said, "Actually, I have told Zunfu before that we will not be wronged and whispered, that's what it means."
